A further object of the invention is to provide a toilet bowl of thecharacter described in which the usual flushing means is provided and anauxiliary flushing means may also be provided at one side of the toiletbowl for flushing the compartment.

These objects and the several novel features of the invention arehereinafter more fully described and claimed and the preferred form ofconstruction by which these objects are attained is shown in theaccompanying drawing in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a toiletbowl embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is .an enlarged section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

As shown in Fig. l, a toilet bowl I is provided which is of the usualporcelain construction and which is provided with a flush tank 2operated by a flush valve handle 3. Formed integrally at one side of thebowl is a chamber 4 having a sloping bottom 5 and a vertical outer wall6. This chamber is open to the interior of the bowl on one side to allowfree access between the compartment and the bowl anda nozzle or jet 1 issupported in the wall 6 of the chamber 4 and is supplied with waterthrough a water pipe 8 which is connected to the water supply pipe 9 forthe flush tank 2. Flow through the pipe 8 is controlled by means of amanually operated valve handle it shown more particularly in Fig. 1 andthe stem of which is shown in Fig. 2. By this arrangement, the valvehandle l0 may be turned to one position to allow water to flow throughthe jet or nozzle 1 into the chamber 4 and by turning the valve handlein the opposite direction the water supply to the chamber 4 may be shutcit. At the upper edge of the vertical wall ii, the compartment isprovided with an outwardly extending flange H. A pair of toilet paper(Cl. 4-6} roll supports l2 are provided each having an end I3 extendingthrough the flange I l and having a nut It on the bottom by means ofwhich the supports l2 may be firmly secured in vertical position. Eachsupport I2 is provided at the upper end with aslot, as shown in Fig. 1,in which the toilet paper roll spindle is supported so that the roll I5will readily turn'in' the supports. Each' support I2 is also providedwith an integral arm It and a bracket ll, shown more particularly inFig.1, is provided with upturned lugs "5 which are pivotally connectedto the arms l6 by the pivot pins l 9. This metal bracket I1 is providedwith extending ends 20 and 2| and one portion 22 of the toilet seat issecured to the end 2| while the other portion 23 of the toilet seat issecured to the bracket 20. By this arrangement, the seat may be turnedup sidewise on the pivot pins H) to allow access to the interior of thebowl, if desired.

In use, the valve handle I0 may be turned to 20 allow the water to flowfrom the nozzle 1 through the compartment 4 and over the edge 24 of thesaid compartment into the toilet bowl. The toilet paper may be torn offfrom the roll and wet at the nozzle 1 of the said compartment and 25 maybe used without dripping any water over any portion of the toilet seatdue to the shape and design of the said seat in combination with thecompartment 4 which allows free access between the compartment and thetoilet bowl. The valve handle It may be turned, if desired, to allow asteady flow through the nozzle 1 into the compartment 4 or may be usedfor flushing the compartment and then turning the valve off. By thearrangement shown, the toilet paper is mounted at a convenient point inrelation to the compartment 4 and by arranging the seat as shown, nowater need be dripped over the seat as free access is allowed betweenthe compartment and the bowl.
